Beef Crumble Fried Rice

This family favorite only takes half an hour to make. High heat and cornstarch make the beef extra crispy, and the soy sauce and red pepper add flavor to the dish. If you wanted to bulk the meal up a little bit, consider adding a vegetable like spinach.

Ingredients

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1/2-in. cubes

3 tablespoons cornstarch

5 tablespoons canola oil, divided

3 cups cooked long-grain white rice

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

4 large eggs, well beaten

3/4 cup diagonally sliced scallions (1-in. pieces) (from 2 scallions)

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper

How to Make It

Step 1

Toss together beef cubes and cornstarch in a bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large stainless-steel skillet over high. Add beef to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned and crisped, about 8 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl, reserving drippings in skillet.

Step 2

Add 3 tablespoons of the oil to skillet; swirl to coat. Add rice and salt; cook, stirring often and scraping bottom of skillet to loosen browned bits, until lightly browned and crisped, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer rice to beef in bowl. (Do not wipe skillet clean.)
